Nothin' wrong with my eyes, my arms are just too short...
I got like 9 pairs of two different strengths - lol. At least 1 pair in each of the vehicles glove box, 3 pairs above the fridge, and 3 squirreled away for when I break or lose the others.
Then I have 2 expensive Rx bifocal pairs that I wear about 6 times per year.
One of the young kids at work, (he is 19) asked me (almost 63) if you get more raciest as you get older. I said "yup, pretty much". Lol.
At least that is my take on it.
Some of it comes from having a better understanding of History. Some from a life of observing and living through different situations, ect.
Prejudice's don't happen out of thin air. It is from observed actions.
Profiling comes from the same observed actions.
If you act, talk, respond a certain way, over time people are going to peg you as a (fill in the blank) it is human nature, and it is rarely wrong.
Trust your Instincts, you have them for a reason.

I’ve got glasses and every room including the bathrooms.
I have 2 new pairs of prescription progressive lenses. Love them, one at work and one at home.
Oh hell yeah. The young ones will learn.

In my mind, I'm 35 when talking to people. Not even close, it sucks honestly.
I LIVE that list daily. Getting old ain't for the weak. I know a bunch of you young'uns are probably reading through that list and laughing, but there's a lot of truth there!

My youngest daughter turns 49 this month, the oldest is 53, well beyond 60 !
Always spoke my mind, but as I get older, I say things others consider " out of place ".
I have been accused of having NO PEOPLE SKILLS..

Good post. Also, as we become older and wiser, we gain (or should gain) a more acute understanding of cultural issues that have a profound effect on our society. Younger folks tend to dismiss actions we might not dismiss, and are more easily influenced by social activists. We tend to observe and not dismiss actions, and we're much less influenced by social activists. One reason why the young should listen more to the elderly.

57 here and 3, 4, 7, 9, 11 and 12 apply.
5 used to apply before I bought about 9 pairs of readers and scattered them throughout the house, garage and truck.

ROFLMAO!!! Yep, I live there too.
The other day my neighbors were out front (We are cool, but don't hang out or anything). I was washing my car. I went in to my garage to get something. The neighbors were staring hard at the front of their house (I think they were looking at their flower bed or some decoration they put there or something).
As I walked out of the garage I said to them "Damn, you guys are staring at the front of your house like I stole something." They looked at me funny and said, no.... I laughed. I told my wife how I was joking with them and she told me that some times I think I'm funny when I'm not and what I said could be considered offensive. LMAO!!!!!
I think I'm hilarious LOL....
The older I get the more things I was told when I was a teenager make sense. There's an older gentleman that is a retired Navy man that is just a wealth of knowledge and full of war stories that I've been taking to lunch for about five years now every opportunity I get.Good post.

The first one that comes to mind is never carry what you can roll (dolly). And then of course everything Dad said about aftermarket parts on a vehicle and just leaving it stock. Which I will never do.

Ain't that the truth.
I now know why old people are always grumpy and taking naps:
Who can get any sleep when your compression socks are too tight, a.k.a. Feet O' Fire, anxiety over accidently swallowing your $15 Amazon mouthguard during the night and your CPAP mask leaks like a MF'er.
